Summary:

"Expansive Discourses is a historical analysis of the complex relations between the City of Calgary and the various land development companies in the three decades of turbulent growth following World War II. As the first book to examine the relations between municipal governments and land development companies, it makes a valuable contribution to Canadian urban historiography."--Publisher.
